gt strut tower brace, how much of a difference is there? Options

[aznpnoy12]

i know that the gt celica has a strut tower brace and all, but i was just wondering how good these braces in comparison to something like a cusco strut tower brace. im mainly curious because i had just ordered a gt brace for my st and i dont know if i should have gone with something else. thanx for the help u guys.

I've got one on my GT, not sure if US is the same as UK but it's a tubular construction....tubes aren't very strong if you try and bend them perpendicular to their length, but they are very strong in compression and even more so in tension, the latter two being the role as a strut brace.

I think you'd be suprised how strong they are, Toyota, cunning feinds that they are will have fitted that design with weight as a consideration also.

Just thought I'd point that one out, out of interest was the new one you fitted heavier then the Toyota item??
